I saw it on Duck Quacks Don't Echo this week.
6 people in bright sunshine put into a dark crypt full of shite and told to get to the other side of it.
Those with the eye patch trick went pretty much straight through, those without bumped into everything and took several minutes more.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

the USA also ban Kinder eggs[^] because it contains a small toy with small parts.
(my take on it) The reason is that if a child chokes on a small part, then the company will get sued.
I'd rather be phishing!

Kinder Eggs when they used to contain a series of small parts were not for children, they were for happy students (read happy as drunk, stoned or medicated) 
|
|
|
|
|
Not just students - I had a complete set of the Penguins!

Ohh Good, thought I was the only adult who still bought 'em! 
|

I pretended to buy them for my daughter.
(The trick was that the ones with penguins in were heavier than the other ones)

You can still buy nearly the exact same thing in the states. Instead of just having the toy inside the egg ready to be swallowed by some ravenous overweight toddler, the toy is inside a plastic egg, which is inside the chocolate egg.
I don't actually think the problem is so much that the toy isn't protected, it's that parents in the states give their kids so much candy (compared to Europe, anyway) that the little fatties just stuff it in their gob without paying attention.
Of course in my opinion, putting inedible things inside of edible things is just asking for disaster anyway... If you've ever found an accidental bone shard in a sausage, you know what I'm talking about.

Well - if one "Drills Down", an interesting alert I find on USA products, such as paints, adhesives, and many other items:
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (wikipeida[^])
Fortunately, I don't live in California and it's apparently much safer where I live.

The state of California knows this, no matter where you live. It's not their fault that your government suspects nothing

If it's made for sale in the US, it should also have a warning saying "Caution: Item will be hot if heated in an oven or microwave oven" 
If not, it's gonna take them completely by surprise, and they WILL sue Playmobil!

Haven't you heard of the "Piratpartiet"?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

True - now that you mention it - but they don't appear to be real pirates. They don't know the language, and they don't parlay either! And I haven't seen ONE single one with a decent eye patch or wooden leg! 
I even voted for them ONCE! But then it turned out that they don't actually have ANY political opinions except for the pirate thing... 
Then again, neither has the sitting governmen. But that's not my fault, I didn't vote for THEM at least...
They've gone and done the Polish thing here, you see: Set a welder as the leader of a country. Unfortunately, it seems like there is a hell of a difference in intelligence between welders throughout the world!

The following post is about Cricket, if you are likely to get your knickers in a twist about Cricket posts please stop reading now. Civilised people please carry on reading.
We are holding our annual Fantasy League for the Indian Premier League in GIT, if you are a Cricket Fan and like a good competition I highly recommend it. You can join by following the link here[^]. If you haven't done a Fantasy League before it only takes 5 minutes a day and is highly addictive.
It starts Saturday so you have to register before then.
